How does this blind tasting work?
axegod75 and I traded three sticks. We both took the bands off and labeled each one A, B and C. We both have cigar tasting notes to fill out. When I return the survey of what I thought of A, B, and C I will also send him the original bands of the cigars that I originally sent him. axedog75 will do the same. I can't wait to see what the cigars are.
 
That totally rocks - did I somehow miss the thread about this or was it just a PM thing?

I'd totally be up for doing something like that
 
Eclipse_man IS the MAN!

I won't even say what he sent me but this pkg goes way above and beyond!

Thank you so much, brother!
 
ChrisGuinther sent some awesome sticks for our trade. Thanks! :D
 
Doc-T sent me some GREAT sticks the other day - totally unexpected but extremely generous!

Thank you, Chris!!!!!
 
Eclipse Man rocks :rock: sent me a beautiful opus x, out of the goodness of his heart so that an opus noob like me could try it...
:thumbsup:
 
Kelvin, you should'nt say such things. You, too, sent me some sticks that I wasn't expecting. Excellent sticks too! :D
 
How or what do you guys ship your smokes in? I always want to get involved in trading once in a while, but, I am a student in Boston and it's hard to get time to go somewhere to get stuff to ship them in. Then there is getting to UPS.

Maybe I should wait 'till I go home for the summer, it'd be much easier then...
 
Spider sent me some of the beads I had asked for in a very timely manner. But not only that, he sent some sticks with them. Thank you, you are a true asset to the forum.

If you are close to the US post office they will have all of the supplies you should need. Newspaper works fine for packing material, just make sure you add enough. The post office is cheaper than UPS.

I use the "VHS tape-sized" Priority Mail boxes from USPS (credit goes to Brenda for this idea). It's FREE, and is already labeled with "Priority Mail" all over it. Perfect size box to send about 5 churchills secured in a Ziplock bag. For the extra spaces, I use bubble wraps (about $2-5 per roll of ??? at Staples). Then packing tape to ensure the box stays closed during it's travel.

You can never use too much tape. Make sure it is labelled clearly, and you will be good to go.

I've got an idea, pack some good cigars, and send them to me, I will let you know if you have done a good job, heh, heh, heh.

You can just PM me for my address.
 
I can't remember if I posted about Kelvin's PIF pkg he sent me. I looked for one and couldn't find it.

Anyway, yeah.....Kevin......you're too much, brother!

One HELLUVA pkg!
